Eddie De La Garza appears in Demi Lovato: Dancing With the Devil and we have a lot of facts to share about this man, who is Demi's stepdad. In the docuseries, Lovato's close-knit support group came together to help her share details about her near-fatal overdose. Demi's mom Dianna De La Garza, who shares a daughter Madison with her husband Eddie, also appears in Dancing with the Devil. In July of 2018, Demi came close to losing her life when she overdosed on an assortment of drugs. Demi is lucky to be alive but continues to experience side effects related to the incident.

Some of the people included in the docuseries were with Demi the night that she overdosed. A group of friends had gone out together to celebrate Dani Vitale's 28th birthday. Dani is Demi's former choreographer and good friend. Later on in the evening, they returned to Demi's home to hang out. When her friends left, Demi decided to phone her drug dealer. She was found unconscious in her bed the next morning. Dani was later blamed for Demi's overdose, and fans sent her hateful messages. Demi allowed Dani to clear her name by sharing her side of the story in Demi Lovato: Dancing with the Devil. Her stepdad Eddie also weighed in about Demi and her personality and problems.

When Demi was just two years old, her mom Dianna and her father Patrick Lovato divorced. One year later, Dianna married Demi's stepdad, Eddie De La Garza. The couple remains married to this day. Eddie was born on February 15, 1961, so he's currently 60 years old. His birth name is James Edward De La Garza. However, he typically goes by the nickname, Eddie. Like Dianna, he is originally from Texas. After high school, Eddie furthered his education at Texas Tech University.

Although Eddie is like a father to Demi and her older sister Dallas, Eddie and Dianna also have a daughter of their own. In 2001, they welcomed their daughter Madison De La Garza (who is Demi's younger half-sister) into the family. Eddie previously worked as a Ford Dealership Manager. Now, he is the founder, president, and CEO of De La Garza Entertainment Inc. The company's LinkedIn page has Dianna listed as part of the management team. Eddie has been a part of some of Demi's past projects, such as Demi Lovato: An Intimate Performance and Demi Lovato: Stay Strong. 

Eddie has played a large role in Demi's life since she was just a little girl. As her birth father was not in the picture much due to his battle with addiction, Eddie stepped in to fill the paternal role. He has been through all of life's ups and downs with Demi. From the looks of it, he is quite supportive of Demi and her career. The next episode of Demi's docuseries Demi Lovato: Dancing With the Devil is set to be released this upcoming Tuesday, April 6 on her Youtube Channel. Demi is lucky to have a strong support system, including her mother Dianna, and stepdad Eddie.
